It is due to Canadian wildfires, about half of which are started by lightning and the other half are human-caused. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-did-the-wildfires-in-canada-start-cause-nova-scotia-quebec/# https://www.washingtonpost.com/photography/interactive/2023/canada-wildfires-smoke-nyc-photos/ https://www.syracuse.com/weather/2023/06/haze-dirty-air-from-canada-wildfires-linger-another-day-in-upstate-ny.html https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2023/06/07/air-quality-where-is-wildfire-smoke-the-worst-live/70297479007/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/pictures-new-york-city-nyc-smoke-canada-wildfire-haze/ https://fortune.com/2023/06/06/canadian-wildfires-smoky-air-sky-new-york-city/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/us/smoke-maps-canada-fires.html
